Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] arm64: bpf: add 'store immediate' instruction

Hi folks,

Any more comments on this patch (store immediate only)?

I need more time to add XADD (I'm supposed everyone agrees it is 
equivalent to atomic_add). However, this one is irrelevant to XADD, so 
we may be able to apply it first?

Thanks,
Yang
